Falling Creek Elementary School

Broad Rock has caring staff and administration dedicated to helping their students succeed.

I used to come her and it was a good school.

I graduated from this school, the students here never made me feel left out and I learned a lot in one year.

I was employed at the school. This place has a notorious reputation for being a poor school. I worked there for a year and was forced to resign due to the principal, giving me such a poor review after several struggles with behavior, problems, ranging from students, destroying my classroom and fits of rage, throwing chairs, and fighting each other. I mentally could not handle the stress, and it affected my professionalism. There were teachers who disrespected other teachers asked inappropriate title, nine violation questions such as Are you gay? they would also refuse to assist in any disciplinary action when extreme behaviors hindered the class from learning. even during a classroom observation, the principal chose not to intervene with two kindergarten students who were physically attacking each other, and I had to be in the middle of it. I thought that this was incredibly unprofessional, and was a chosen act to have me look bad, so he could prove that I wasn’t meeting the standards of a teacher who could continue working for CCPS. after being placed on administrative leave pending my non-renewal of my contract, I chose to resign and put the matter to rest for my own well-being. Now I’ve just been left, struggling to make ends meet as a teacher working in a lower paying job than before, w-paying job than before, with my reputation hindered due to false and one-sided accusations. I wish the school no luck, and I hope reform comes down the line to help the students at the school progress forward and not backwards each year with new administrations and continuing behavior and disruptions throughout the school year each day.

The administration takes issues seriously and is responsive and you can tell they care deeply about the students. Several of the office staff know my son by name and speak to him whenever they see him. The maintenance gentleman is friendly, positive and always chatting with students and giving high fives. There is such positive energy at this school. The test scores are not reflective of a lack of quality education or administration as my experience so far shows dedication to learning all around. Ms. Pittman teaches 1st grade and is fantastic. She is committed to teaching all of the students according to their level and what will help them excell individually and keeps them engaged in learning. She has them work in groups based on their abilities as well so they can help each other. She has great communication with parents and organizes each weeks lessons so that parents can follow along on the class app easily and study with their children using provided study guides. Reading is taught using phonics instead of sight words which is very important for reading success and she focuses heavily on comprehension. I can't say enough good things about this teacher. My son's kindergarten teacher Ms. Jones was just as wonderful. And he talks about his resource teachers being fun and great as well. He loves going to school here.
